100% wonderful experience with Mark! There is a reason for all the 5.0 reviews out there!! If you are looking for a cheesy, loud, perhaps costumed guide, Mark isn’t for you. If you are looking for a passionate, highly knowledgeable, mature professional guide, Mark IS the one!

This is the Freedom Trail Walk you should do!

We booked this tour because we could see the guide had excellent reviews - he exceeded our expectations. Really nice guy, Incredibly knowledgeable, informative and thoroughly enjoyable walking tour in a small group. it's a lot of walking, but well paced with plenty of stops and a restroom break. He even carries spare water in case you run out.
